On returning to London to resume his battle with Fosco, Hartright marries Laura. When he secretly tails Fosco to investigate him, Hartright also discovers that Fosco belongs to, and has betrayed, an Italian secret society (dubbed "The Brotherhood"), of which Pesca is a high-ranking member with enough authority to dispatch him. Using Fosco's weakness as bargaining chip, Hartright now has the power to force a written confession from Fosco and Laura's identity is restored. Fosco departs from England in haste, only to be discovered by the Brotherhood's agents some time later and murdered. Since Hartright and Laura have married, on the death of Frederick Fairlie, their son becomes the Heir of Limmeridge.

Individual Reading 5. The Woman in White
This secret was known only to Anne's mother, and while Anne never knew the secret, she spoke and acted as if she did. Many years earlier, Glyde had forged an entry in the marriage register at Old Welmingham Church to conceal his illegitimacy and hence unlawful inheritance of estate and title. Believing Walter either has discovered, or will discover his secret, Glyde attempts to destroy the register entry, but the church vestry catches fire and he perishes in the flames. Confronting Anne's mother, Hartright discovers that Anne was the illegitimate child of Laura's father, which accounts for their resemblance.

While Marian is ill, Laura is tricked into travelling to London. Her identity and that of Anne Catherick are then switched. Anne Catherick dies of a heart condition and is buried in Cumberland as Laura, while Laura is drugged and placed in the asylum as Anne Catherick. When Marian recovers and visits the asylum, hoping to learn something from Anne Catherick, she finds Laura, supposedly suffering from the delusion that she is Lady Glyde.
Marian bribes the nurse and Laura escapes. Hartright has safely returned from Honduras, and the three live together in obscure poverty, determined to restore Laura's identity. After some time Walter discovers Glyde's secret, which is that he was illegitimate, and therefore not entitled to inherit his parents' property.
Individual Reading 3. The Woman in White
Walter and Laura quickly fall in love. Laura, however, has promised her father that she will marry Sir Percival Glyde, and Marian – knowing that Laura loves Walter in return – advises Walter to forget his love, and leave Limmeridge. Anne, after sending a letter to Laura warning her against Glyde, meets Hartright who becomes convinced that Glyde was responsible for shutting Anne in the asylum. Despite the misgivings of the Fairlie's lawyer over the financial terms of the marriage settlement, Laura and Glyde marry in December 1849 and travel to Italy for 6 months. Hartright also leaves England, joining an expedition to Honduras. After their honeymoon, Sir Percival and Lady Glyde return to his family estate, Blackwater Park, in Hampshire; they are accompanied by Glyde's friend, Count Fosco (who is married to Laura's aunt). Marian Halcombe is also living at Blackwater and learns that Glyde is in financial difficulties. Sir Percival unsuccessfully attempts to bully Laura into signing a document which would allow him to use her marriage settlement of £20,000. Determined to protect her sister, Marian crawls out onto a roof overlooking Percy and Fosco whilst they plot; but it begins to rain, and Marian, completely soaked, falls into a fever which shortly turns into typhus.
Pleasure Reading 6. The Woman in White by W. Collins
Walter Hartright, a young art teacher, is walking from Hampstead to London late one summer's evening, when he meets a mysterious woman dressed in white, apparently in deep distress. He helps her on her way to London, but later learns that she has escaped from an asylum. The next day he travels north to Limmeridge House, having been hired as a drawing master to the residents of the house; he had been recommended for the job by his friend, Pesca, an Italian language professor. The Limmeridge household comprises Mr Frederick Fairlie, and Walter's students: Laura Fairlie, Mr Fairlie's niece, and Marian Halcombe, her devoted half-sister. Several days after he arrives, Hartright is shocked to realize that Laura bears an astonishing resemblance to the woman in white, called Anne Catherick. The mentally disadvantaged Anne had lived for a time in Cumberland as a child and was devoted to Laura's mother, who first dressed her in white.

The head of the article is PepsiCo-Lil Wayne split marks shaky alliance of rappers, business. It was published in Los Angeles Times on May 10, 2013 by Gerrick D. Kennedy. Corporations are quick to recruit rappers to sell their soft drinks, shoes and smartphones — but the moment there's a whiff of controversy, they are just as quick to cut them loose.
1. The soft drink company announced it had ended its relationship with Wayne, one of the biggest selling rappers in music, over a vulgar sexual reference to slain civil rights figure Emmett Till in a remix of Future's hit, "Karate Chop."
2. Peter Sealey, a professor at Claremont Graduate University and a former head of marketing at Coca-Cola, said events like these prove how out of touch corporations can be when trying to appeal to younger demographics.
3. Sealey says the hiring of potentially controversial rap artists also represents a generation gap within the corporations.
4. Wayne's partnership with the soda company was worth more than $7 million.
5. Hip-hop fans and rappers like Snoop Dogg, Tyga and Meek Mill have been vocal in criticizing corporations dropping rappers over lyrics. It's freedom of speech, they say. But more importantly they are questioning why brands are caving to public pressure against rappers they've signed, when they should have known their lyrical content was potentially offensive to wider audiences.

Chris Brown goes into the unknown with a new album, new image is the head of the article which was published in Los Angeles Times on March 27, 201 by GERRICK D. KENNEDY. The singer says he's trying to learn from his mistakes. His new disc, 'X,' is part of the plan.
1. Chris Brown is in a Burbank studio previewing his forthcoming album, and pushing the reset button on a career bogged down by scandal.
2. The embattled R&B singer takes a lengthy drag off his cigarette before pressing "play" on the title track of "X," his sixth disc, due out in late summer.
3.From his felony conviction over a 2009 assault against girlfriend Rihanna and their on again-off again relationship since, frequent Twitter spats and alleged fights with Frank Ocean and Drake, Brown has no shortage of mistakes to learn from.
4. While recording "X," Brown was aware that he was up against a reputation he, in part, helped create.
5.He says the record's more honest approach is not a bid to win over a disapproving public.
6.To record the album, the singer recruited emerging producers and returning hit makers Polow Da Don, Timbaland, Pharrell, Drumma Boy and Danja.
As for me, I seldom believe yellow press, because they just want to get money at the expense of one's life.

What Kelly Rowland, Paulina Rubio bring to 'X Factor' is the title of the article which I have analyzed. It was published in Los Angeles Times on May 21, 2013 by Gerrick D. Kennedy. Their names had been floated around for some time as potential replacements forBritney Spears and L.A. Reid.
1. “X Factor” has already gone through a handful of judges, with Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger and Cheryl Cole having done short bids.
2.Rowland previously served as a judge on the eighth season of the more successful British version of “The X Factor,” and Rubio judged "The Voice Mexico" last year and is currently judging "La Voz Kids," a Spanish version of "The Voice" for children.
3.Between The X Factor and American Idol was the gteat competition.
4.The Latin superstar Paulina Rubio isn’t quite a household name for American viewers, but the 41-year-old has been in the industry for most of her life. As with Rowland, she came from a teen-pop group, and then went on to find a bounty of solo success, selling more than 20 million records internationally, so she knows a thing or two about reaching a global market.
5. Each show needs a diva, and Rowland will fill that role nicely. She spent half her life in one of the biggest girl groups of all time, Destiny’s Child, and has the Grammys and platinum plaques to back up whatever advice she doles out. Her solo career isn’t too shabby either.

The head of the article is Five things to love about Beyonce's 'Grown Woman', which was published in Los Angeles Times on May 23, 2013 by Gerrick D. Kennedy. This work is devoted to the new single of Beyonce.
1. The full version of Bey’s “Grown Woman” mysteriously hit the Internet on Monday night.
2.“Grown Woman” is an empowering female anthem tailor-made for dance floors and repeat blasting in car stereos.
3.The Timbaland-produced single has the pop diva barking out an aggressive affirmation of her prowess over five minutes of frenetic African-influenced rhythms, tribal chants and multiple vocal breakdowns.
4.There is a bit of beatboxing here.
5. Beyonce was inspired by Nigerian icon Fela Kuti for “4’s” best single, "End of Time," and the funky vibe is revisited on “Grown Woman.”
It is the real hit, which will be on the head of all chart. I advice to listen to it everyone who likes pop dance music!

Gatsby asks him one request- to arrange the meeting with Daisy. Long ago, Gatsby fell in love with a young girl, Daisy. Although she has always loved Gatsby, she is currently married to Tom Buchanan. Nick finally agrees--arranging tea for Daisy at his house. The two ex-lovers meet and soon rekindle their affair. Soon, Tom begins to suspect and challenges the two of them. One day Tom decides to put the end to this love. But Jay is waiting that Daisy admits her husband that has never loved him. But She is very indecisive, greedy and silly, she can't give Gatsby what he has been waiting during 5 years. Going home she forces down the woman who was the mistress of her husband. Tom substitutes Gatsby about the killing ( because they went on the Gatsby's car) and Jay is killed by the mistress's husband in his own house. His beloved doesn't come to him to the funeral.
I was deeply impressed and my mood was spoiled after the viewing of this movie. It is very sad, that sometimes our hopes and dreams concerning some people do not realise.
Film Review 3. Revolutionary Road
Brilliantly acted and emotionally powerful, Revolutionary Road is a handsome adaptation of Richard Yates' celebrated novel.The film was directed by Sam Mendes and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Her performance earned Kate Winslet a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, and the film was nominated for a further three Golden Globes, fourBAFTA's and three Oscar.

Frank had a mistress, he began deceiving April. There were continuous scandals in the family. And once they decided to go to Paris, where they would be rich, happy and famous. April would be an actress in Paris and she saw in it their only solution of the problem.
But Frank laughed at her idea.
April became pregnant again. Frank discovered that April was contemplating having an abortion. All became worse and worse,April and Frank had another fight, which caused April to flee the house. She couldn't believe to her husband any moree because he had never supported and understood her. She decided to make an abortion herself and died in the hospital due to complications following the abortion.
Revolutionary Road" shows the American Dream awakened by a nightmare. It takes place in the 1950s, the decade not only of Elvis but of The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit. It shows a young couple who meet at a party, get married and create a suburban life with a nice house, a manicured lawn, "modern" furniture, two kids, a job in the city for him, housework for her, and martinis, cigarettes, boredom and desperation for both of them.

3. The plot is easily understood, the hero of the movie is making an agreement to help a "Bounty Hunter" in order he will help him back, to find his wife Broomhilda.
4. Quentin Tarantino brings back the period of 70s and the era of Clint Eastwood and the quote spoken by Django "Kill white folks and they pay you for it?" tells everything about what you will see in the movie.
5. Although the movie is a classic making of Tarantino, it consists moments that Tarantino wasn't using like r generating moments of past, beautiful moments like when the blood splits to white Lilly flowers.
6. For Tarantino lovers the movie is still what they could expect of him, gunfire, gore and geysers of blood like he used to make his movies.
7. Although the movie touches moments of American Civil War and periods that are kept in our history, the movie, made just like Tarantino loves, tells the truth and the watchers can only benefit from it.

My Individual Reading. The Moon and Sixpence
Summary
After the Paris episode, the story continues in Tahiti. Strickland has already died, and narrator attempts to piece together his life there from recollections of others. He finds that Strickland had taken up a native woman, had two children by her (one of whom dies) and started painting profusely. We learn that Strickland had settled for a short while in the French port of Marseilles before traveling to Tahiti, where he lived for a few years before finally dying of leprosy. Strickland left behind numerous paintings, but his magnum opus, which he painted on the walls of his hut before losing his sight to leprosy, was burnt down after his death by his wife in accordance with his dying orders.

My Individual Peading. The Moon and Sixpence
Summary
Strickland is a well-off, middle-class stockbroker in London sometime in late 19th or early 20th century. Early in the novel, he leaves his wife and children and goes to Paris. He lives a destitute but defiantly content life there as an artist (specifically a painter), lodging in run-down hotels and falling prey to both illness and hunger. Strickland, in his drive to express through his art what appears to continually possess and compel him on the inside, cares nothing for physical discomfort and is indifferent to his surroundings. He is generously supported, while in Paris, by a commercially successful but hackneyed Dutch painter, Dirk Stroeve, a friend of the narrator's, who immediately recognizes Strickland's genius. After helping Strickland recover from a life-threatening condition, Stroeve is repaid by having his wife, Blanche, abandon him for Strickland. Strickland later discards the wife (all he really sought from Blanche was a model to paint, not serious companionship, and it is hinted in the novel's dialogue that he indicated this to her and she took the risk anyway), who then commits suicide - yet another human casualty (the first ones being his own established life and those of his wife and children) in Strickland's single-minded pursuit of Art and Beauty.
